About Dating Sim Games
Dating sims are a subgenre of simulation games, usually Japanese in origin, with romance at the core. The most common goal is to date, usually choosing from among several characters, and to win a romantic relationship. Your choices act like stats: say the right things and a route opens; say the wrong ones and it closes.
